This is a bug report. Maybe.

I am not sure what greatawakening.win is doing but I suspect it is a rogue javascript that is doing it.

It's possible it's a bad loop somewhere, or it's possible (and I am not accusing mods / admins of doing this) but it's POSSIBLE that greatawakening.win is running some kind of cryptocurrency mining application, or some other similar 'grid compute workload'

I have not looked into this so it's not even a claim or assertion but a speculation. Something is causing this website to be running the CPU much much higher / hotter than any other website, when it's not even doing ANYTHING for over an hour.

What the actual shithole is my CPU the fuck doing?

This is a problem. I wish admins/mods would look into it and stop it, if ti's a bug

However, if this website has to cryptomine in order to survive, I understand that but they should come out and say it.

OR better yet they should accept tips in order to keep the site going. I would pay.

I would actually pay for these win sites to NOT mine, NOT fold proteins for pay, NOT run advertisements, NOT harvest our data and sell on the backchannel to the CIA and Vanguard / Blackrock, and NOT use their site as a platform for profiling, etc or any other thing that this website might be secretly doing.

Again, this is all speculation, not accusaion. I DO think it's funny you can have a website with millions of unique visitors per day and even more accounts and not make any money or even have the appearance of trying to make money to pay for the thousands of dollars in bandwidth it must cost to house the WIN sites at a colocation facility.

This post is not intended to get anyone least of all me in trouble. Just if it's a mistake in the coding, please fix it; if it's mining, please let us know and let us opt out of it and pay for your website.

Thanks in advance. Please don't ban me for bringing this up.
